Hi. SE QLD is the Gold Coast for us. One of my partners daughters goes to school in Melbourne. We went down for a visit a little more than a year ago and had a great time. It was unseasonably warm and I just loved Melbourne.

Gold Coast for my DH too. This site is a great idea isn't it! Are there many AP-ers in your area or do you find it difficult to find like-minded parents? I find I seem to be very much in the minority down here...

Hi mikhela_lee nice to have you here! Yep love the ABA!!!! And I agree it is sad that breastfeeding (especially babies past 6 months or heaven forbid, 1 year! ) is still not seen as a perfectly normal or usual part of society.

Yes, surprisingly the AP crowd here on the GC is hard to find at the moment. I found a local AP'ish' Yahoo Group and have applied to join the group but no response yet. Well, if they are anything like me, then they are aware I am there and interested and just trying to find time to respond.

I love this website and have learned so much from the sharing that takes place here. I am so very thankful for this site.

If you are every in the GC area, PM me and maybe we can meet for a cuppa.

Abundance - ABA is the Australian Breastfeeding Association
We were just up your way having a break in Byron - lovely! I agree, this website is great! It's so nice to know you can ask advice and not have to expect the "control crying" response or similar. I'm the same with trying to find time to get on here though. DD tries to "help" me type if she's awake.....

Liseylu - welcome! Whereabouts are you? I'm in Melbourne. I'm not sure about API groups here - like abundance I saw a yahoo one but it wasn't used much. Maybe with more people visiting here we could start one....

Hi - I'm new here, and also from Brisbane, I'd love to meet up with others if you are interested!

I'm a 35yo attachment mum with a beautiful 15 week old daughter who is still doing all her day sleeps in arms! I am going to try the local ABA group too but haven't got onto them yet. I was going to an aware parenting group but that has stopped meeting, so I am looking out for likeminded parents to meet up with and share things. Plus I need to get out occasionally!

Anyway, nice to find this site, and hopefully some of us can meet or message each other over here in Brisvegas...
